This is virtually impossible with NinjaTrader. You can easily
-> color the background of the indicator panel
-> or alternatively color the background of all panels
But adding an alternative just to color the price panel does not work without accessing chart controls. If you just want to change the color of the price panel it is easier to code a second indicator than adding an option to the first.
I attach an indicator which allows you to color indicator panels or all panels.
I worked now a few days with this indicator and I have a small question. Why does it paint the background in the panel, ones after a closed candle and ones before a closed candle. The D + K cross occurs both time in the middle of a candle.
The color changes, when the fast line has reached or crossed the slow line. The color change always includes the actual cross, as the color is drawn back to the position of the previous candle. Example shown below.
You first vertical line was drawn before the cross, the second vertical line after the cross.
I’m trying something out and I’m really will appreciate it when somebody can add a Background color function to an RSI indicator. I’m tried it, but actually I’m miles away from understand programing.
I would like only the RSI panel to background color it, like the Stochastic in the previous posts.
This is my idea:
When RSI is going up and it is below the 50 line = Background color LIME (for example)
When RSI is going up and it is above the 50 line = Background color GREEN (for example)
When RSI is going down and it is above the 50 line = Background color ORANGE (for example)
When RSI is going down and it is below the 50 line = Background color RED (for example)
I hope someone can help me with that.
Thanks a lot

I wonder if FatTails or redratsal can solve this one.
I use a linear gradientbrush to paint my background. How can I either
a) convert this to a rgb color code so that I can use BackColorAll or
b) Back Color the whole of the form - all Panels, axis areas,etc
It's part of Making Charts Pretty but thought I would hop over here to see if someone knows the answer(s).
Ok so I went to NT support - and they can't reveal the BackColorAll method to the users and apparently you can't convert a brush to a color. All very frustrating. For something that seems to simple.
What I find intensely frustrating is that I have exposed the following
ChartControl.Bounds
ChartControl.BackColor and BackColorAll
ChartControl.Canvas points
Even Rectangle screenRectangle = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds
NONE of which will give the bounds of the whole form on which the chart is made- maddening.
